Don't ask how....but I accidentally dripped some steak juice into my mackie 1604.....while it was on. Nothing blew up, no smoke and I didn't notice anything for, perhaps, 30 minutes. I then noticed small remnants of the offending liquid around the pan pots of channels 14, 15 and 16.
Upon further investigation........flickering LEDs and the faint smell of fried electronics. I, of course, immediately unplugged the wounded device.
I now have the PCB pulled out and am looking at an awful mess. It looks like I'll have to obviously replace some components.....a couple of chips, some pots, some small elec caps, some poly caps, some SMT resistors and some pushbuttons are coated with a bubbly sticky brown goo. The damage is confined to the area around the pan pots of the 3 channels.
Any tips on how to proceed?
Thanks,
Ric
